MOORHEAD, Minn. – The owner of the Moorhead record store Mother’s announced the store is closing March 1 after 55 years in business.
“As one of the oldest record stores in the 8 state region, this was an incredibly difficult decision,” Brady Bredell said on Facebook.
Bredell adds the store hasn’t fully recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic saying it’s too much work for too little return for his efforts, shopping habits have changed, the price of vinyl and competition have increased. Bredell adds he’s dealing with health issues.
“We truly appreciate your 55 years of support. Literally generations of support. But I hope to revive our name whether it’s here or online or in Santa Fe, which I’m considering relocating to…to be closer to family,” Bredell said.
